Kelly and David are good friends

Kelly has previously spoken about seeing David on the TV for the first time and told her co-host, Ryan Seacrest, that she was blown away by him.

“I remember when I first saw David Muir file a report for World News Tonight. I didn’t know him at all. 

“I immediately cracked into the ABC News system email – which you’re not supposed to use unless it’s for news – and I wrote: “Dude. You looked amazing tonight. Don’t know what was going on. Looked kinda dangerous where you are. But just wanted to let you know that you looked amazing. I had the volume down.”

They went on to form a firm friendship which continues to this day.
